The Surface Geology of Australia Web Map Service (2012 edition) provides two seamless national coverages of bedrock and surficial geology, compiled for use at 1:1 million scale and 1:2.5 million scale. The 1:1M data is limited so that it does not display at scales less than 1:1,500,000. The 1:2.5M data is limited so that it does not display at scales greater than 1:1,500,000. The data represents outcropping or near-outcropping bedrock units, and unconsolidated or poorly consolidated regolith material covering bedrock. Geological units are represented as polygon and line geometries, and are attributed with information regarding stratigraphic name and hierarchy, age, lithology, and primary data source. Layers are available for geological units coloured by lithostratigraphy, age, and lithology. The dataset also contains geological contacts, structural features such as faults and shears, and miscellaneous supporting lines like the boundaries of water and ice bodies.

The Coastal Geomorphology of Australia Web Map Service contains the two nationally consistent coastal geomorphology classifications created for the Commonwealth to support a national coastal risk assessment. First, the Smartline is a polyline representation of the geomorphic features located within 500m shoreline, represented by the high water mark. The second product is a reclassification of over 50 existing digital polygon-based coastal mapping products into a nationally consistent classification scheme based on map scale, ranging from 1:500 000 to 1:25 000. Geomorphological units are represented as polygon and line geometries, and attributed with information regarding depositional environment, landform classification (type and subtype), and primary data source.

This service is an image service for the OZTemp_Interpreted_Temperature_at_5km_Depth_Image product. An interpretation of the crustal temperature at 5km depth, based on the OzTemp bottom hole temperature database and additional confidential company data. A simple two layer model has been used for the extrapolation of the temperature to 5km depth; where the data quality and availability has allowed a slightly more complex three layer model using heatflow and thermal conductivity data was used for the extrapolation.

This service is based on the OZTemp Well Temperature Data displaying only the points used to create the OZTemp_Interpreted_Temperature_at_5km_Depth_Image product. This is an extract from the OZTemp database, an updated and improved version of the AUSTHERMO5 borehole temperature database previously described by Chopra and Holgate (2005). OZTemp currently contains 5513 individual wells and 17247 temperature and/or temperature gradient data records. Due to the range of sources of data it is known to be of varying quality and reliability and should therefore be used with discretion, however it represents the best available data compilation of its type.

Australian Solar Energy Information System feature layers. This service contains layers that service the ASEIS solar mapping application. Hourly direct normal solar exposure is the total amount of direct beam solar energy falling over one hour on a surface whose orientation is maintained perpendicular to the solar beam. Typical values for hourly direct normal exposure range up to around 3 MJ/m2 (megajoules per square metre). The values are usually highest in clear skies and decrease rapidly with increasing cloudiness, and also decrease to a lesser extent with increasing haziness and decreasing solar elevation.

Australian Solar Energy Information System feature layers. This service contains layers that service the ASEIS solar mapping application. Global solar exposure is the total amount of solar energy falling on a horizontal surface. The daily global solar exposure is the total solar energy for a day. Typical values for daily global exposure range from 1 to 35 MJ/m2 (megajoules per square metre). For mid-latitudes, the values are usually highest in clear sun conditions during the summer and lowest during the winter or very cloudy days.

The natural water course layer consists of a linear network with a consistent topology that provide directional flow paths through the network for hydrological analysis. This network was used to produce the National 9 second Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Australia (http://www.ga.gov.au/nmd/products/digidat/dem_9s.jsp). It also provides information on naming, hierarchy and perennially.

The Australian Topographic map service is seamless national dataset coverage for the whole of Australia. The map portrays detailed graphic representation of features that appear on the Earth's surface. These features include cultural, hydrography and relief themes. SS, MS and LS refer to Small, Medium and Large Scale datasets. NAA means the service does Not Anti Alias the features, which means they can be overlayed on other layers without a haloing effect.

This hillshade is derived from the 1 arc second (~30m) Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) gridded Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Version 1.0. The DEM represents ground surface topography and excludes vegetation features. The sun angle used is 315 degrees azimuth and 30 degrees altitude. It is intended for large scale use for low lying area feature identification. The SRTM data was acquired by NASA in February 2000 and was publicly released under Creative Commons licensing from November 2011 in ESRI Grid format. The SRTM DEM has quite different characteristics to DEMs derived by interpolation from topographic data. Those DEMs are typically quite smooth and are based on fairly accurate but sparse source data, usually contours and spot heights supplemented by drainage lines. The SRTM data is derived from radar measurements that are dense (there is essentially a measurement at almost every grid cell) but noisy. The main processing of the SRTM DEM product has included: stripe removal, void filling and vegetation offset removal. Processing methods are further described in the 1 second SRTM Derived Products User Guide (Geoscience Australia, 2011).
